The Charleston Children's Museum

Despite the fact that January has been cold and somewhat sickly for our family, we have managed to have some fun by "being tourists in our own town." Brian has had an easier month and has had some weekday mornings and afternoons off, so we have taken advantage of this and of this tourist pass, which allows you free admission to many Charleston attractions and great discounts on local restaurants during the month of January. One of our first stops was the Charleston Children's Museum, which has turned out to be one of Abby Grace and Caleb's favorite places. See pictures below. The setup was perfect for both of them because they had activities that both of them could do and enjoy at the same time, despite the differences in their ages. Since visiting, I think Abby Grace has asked about every other day if we could go back. They loved it!

These two picks are from the "ship" section, where the kids could play captain, pirate, fish, etc.!


You guessed it--water play! I think this was one of Caleb's favorites!

Plus, he loved splashing and painting the wall with water.


Another part included a Publix grocery store, where they could shop for their own groceries. Why wasn't there stuff like this when I was a kid? :)


This is the section for kids under 3--it included lots of mats and ladders/slides that were perfect for Caleb (and Abby Grace still liked it too).


And then there was the art room, where you could create all kinds of masterpieces. Imagine Abby Grace liking that! :)
